Chapter 1395: Chapter 1000: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 8 (6,000 Words)
Cai Yuan not only brought the child to apologize but also retrieved the surveillance footage from that time, proving it was indeed her child’s fault. Qi Qi thought the child’s mistake was unintentional, so she squatted in front of Wen Han and asked, "Big sister didn’t do it on purpose, can we forgive her?"
Wen Han was already able to express his thoughts. Besides, children are so innocent; they can sense who treats them well and who doesn’t. He liked playing with his older siblings, and they treated him well too, so he nodded obediently, "Sure, I’ll play with big sister; she’s nice."
After Zhang Yue apologized with red eyes, she willingly used her pocket money to buy Wen Han a Transformer toy as a gift, making Wen Han very happy.
An unexpected incident was thus resolved succinctly. As for the child’s medical expenses, because Qi Qi had bought Wen Han commercial insurance and resident medical insurance, the medical expenses of several thousand yuan were reimbursed, so not much was actually spent. However, Cai Yuan transferred ten thousand yuan to Qi Qi.
"Looking at the child like this, we bear a significant responsibility; even though you’ve forgiven us, we should still bear the consequences. If you don’t accept the money, how can I feel at ease? Rest assured, this scar on the child is easy to treat and won’t have much impact on him in the future."
"Sister Cai, it’s alright — he’s a boy, not a girl, why be so particular?" Unable to decline the money, she accepted it.
Due to this unexpected incident, the children played more cautiously in the future. The older ones, younger ones, and even the elderly all quietly played in the living room. The Zhang family couple and Qi Qi eliminated all potential hazards at home.
The salary for January was already issued before the new year, and after the new year, she didn’t complete many delivery orders, so the January income from deliveries was only more than five hundred yuan.
The video app platform generated one thousand yuan.
Currently, her followers had increased to 120,000. Although she hadn’t done any product endorsements, the high quality of her videos, her excellent cooking skills, and occasionally including deliveries and part-time work made her content quite engaging. Thus, the loyalty of her followers remained high, characterizing her as a broadcaster with lasting potential.
Before the new year, she saved two thousand yuan for herself; after the new year, Cai Yuan provided ten thousand, and combined with the January income of 1,500 yuan, deducting that month’s living expenses, travel costs, several hundred yuan in medical fees, helping an elderly person (who gave her a one-thousand yuan red envelope), the New Year’s money from Cai Yuan and the elderly, and balancing what she gave the children, her savings increased to 12,000 yuan by mid-February after all the money was credited.
By the time school started, the small wound on Wen Han had already scabbed over, and the large wound still required regular hospital visits for medication, but the impact was minimal. However, the kindergarten was wary of taking responsibility, so Qi Qi planned to send the child to kindergarten in March. During these days, he tagged along with her to drop off and pick up his older siblings, and the three children grew closer due to Wen Han’s injury.
Although Qi Qi worked as a nanny, she seldom chatted with other nannies in the villa neighborhood and mostly stayed at her own place, taking care of the children, tidying up, gardening, keeping the Zhang household impeccably organized. Even the picky elderly couple praised her endlessly, often boasting to others about their son’s impressive choice in hiring such a diligent nanny.
Qi Qi rarely stayed over, preferring to return home when the Zhang family had no issues, unlike most nannies in the neighborhood who lived in and were predominantly older with few younger ones. Everyone knew hiring a young, attractive nanny was inadvisable; someone like Qi Qi, with her safe appearance and having a child, was practically unheard of.
It was in March that the Zhang family learned about Qi Qi’s intention to participate in the college entrance exam this year and even discussed the professional courses to consider for enrollment.
The Zhang family was full of intellectuals, and Qi Qi, being practical and steady, didn’t consider it shameful to return to the examination hall through self-study even after her divorce. Whether she could pass the exam was uncertain, but her tenacity was something few could match.
Zhang Qian even said if she studied law, she could train at their law firm, and he could personally mentor her.
Honestly, she hadn’t thought about being a glamorous lawyer.
Cai Yuan commented, "As long as it’s not medicine, any field is fine. Your age isn’t a significant concern, plus your child is still in school. University studies are far less hectic than high school, so you’ll have time for your child. The only regret is, if you leave, what about my child? How about choosing a local university instead?"
